US/Mexico Border Wall Progress
1.8 miles added since the previous update.
730.5 miles completed
1591 miles planned
860.5 miles remain to be built
*
Interesting update this time around.
- The decrease in the number of miles completed is probably due to the holiday weekend
- Number of miles of border wall to be built has changed this week from 1,419 to 1591; an increase of 172 miles
- Vehicle Barrier System has been added to the End State which previously only included the Primary Border Wall
- Planned (not yet awarded) section has been removed. It was no longer needed as it was at 0
Still, some numbers have shifted since the last update so that the total number of miles of Primary and Replacement border wall has changed/decreased from
1,419 to
1,407.7. The miles removed appears to have been subtracted from the Awarded (Design Phase). Some of this may be typos in which case it will likely be corrected by the next update. Otherwise
1,407.7 may be the new End State for Primary Border Wall. It could also be that this was an error that has only now been corrected. Time will tell.
*I will
not be including the Vehicle Barrier or the Secondary border Wall to the US/Border wall construction status in future updates.
